Abstract:
The material is seeds of Delavaya toxocarpa French harvested in Cao Bang province in 1999, 2000 and 2001. Fatty oil was quantified by weighing method. The indices of fatty oil were identified in relation to Vietnamese Pharmacopoeia. The fatty acid ingredients were analysed by gas chromatography (GC). The results showed that the fatty oil content in Delavaya toxocarpa French seeds was high (39.63+/-0.836), acidic index was 37.651+/-0.836, iodine index was 69.615+/-1.076, soap index was 180.762+/-3.382. The fatty oil included palmitic, oleic, linoleic, stearic, gadoleic and arachidic acids. Among these, oleic and gadoleic acids had the highest content
